Meet Our Youth
Kiril
Kiril told one of our board members, “I take my studies seriously.” The odds are stacked against young men like Kiril who are coming from such difficult circumstances; but he is determined. He wants people to pray for his efforts in school.
Kiril spent his childhood years in an orphanage, even though both parents are alive, because of his mother's drinking. After aging out of a rural orphanage near Zhytomyr, Kiril moved into the Shelter, where he lives and studies with other orphaned youth under the care of Last Bell houseparents.
Kiril goes to church with Last Bell staff members. He began to follow Jesus, and was baptized in 2013.
Kiril's dream is to be a pharmacist. Even though the state stopped paying for orphans' college expenses just as Kiril was graduating from high school at the orphanage, our staff made sure he could start classes at the Pharmacology College. Last Bell is helping pay for his education.

Katya
Last Bell is renovating Katya's home through the Restoration Project. Once on the outskirts, Katya is now in the center of Last Bell's services, benefiting from parenting training with Stop the Cycle and the provision of a safe and secure home for herself and her little girl.
Katya went to the orphanage when she was eleven years old, and graduated at fifteen. When we first met Katya, she was very shy; she hung around the edges and in the doorways at our gatherings.
In 2014, when she had a baby, she immediately joined the Stop the Cycle program. She is a great mom—very gentle with her little girl Sophia.
Katya inherited a small apartment, but it was so dilapidated that she and Sophia lived elsewhere. Her husband kept losing his job and couldn't provide for his family. Last Bell planned to help him renovate the apartment—but recently, he was caught stealing and went to jail.
Now Last Bell is renovating Katya's home through the Restoration Project. Once on the outskirts, Katya is now in the center of Last Bell's services, benefiting from parenting training with Stop the Cycle and the provision of a safe and secure home for herself and her little girl.
